Reviews and Ratings
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were fine, offering plenty of space and a large balcony overlooking beautiful gardens. However, there were some minor issues with a few staff members not being very client-oriented. The location was gorgeous, with separate pools for children and direct access to the beach, but there were some concerns about the surrounding industrial sites. The dining experience was varied and enjoyable, offering a good selection of dishes. Overall, a good value for the money.
I decided to book the standard double bedroom, and I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. The room was spacious, had a balcony, and a good-sized bathroom with a bath and an overhead shower. The only downside was when music was playing from the hotel in front.
My stay at the hotel was truly delightful. The rooms were clean and spacious, offering a good size room with a well-equipped bathroom, comfortable amenities, and a nice balcony with beautiful views of the beach and city. However, the room size was a bit small. The hotel's location, on top of a high hill, was perfect for exploring the eastern part of Crete and provided a peaceful setting ideal for couples or families with older children. The dining experience was fantastic with a rich variety of delicious meals, although we encountered some service issues with staff being more focused on clearing tables. Overall, the facilities were great, and the lush surroundings added to the relaxing ambiance of the place.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were spacious with most offering sea views, although the issue with beds being set on platforms was not ideal. The service, overall friendly, had some inconsistent experiences. The location was peaceful but had some drawbacks due to nearby industrial sites. The dining experience was enjoyable, especially the varied breakfast options. The facilities were decent, although there were some minor inconveniences.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with clean and comfortable rooms and friendly staff. The location was fantastic, right next to a lovely blue flag beach and with easy access to restaurants. However, the dining experience could be improved with more breakfast options. Overall, it was great value for money.
